Is there any advantage to setting up the phone’s mail to access Gmail compared to downloading the Gmail client?
Yes, You can not send attachments with Gmail Client while with phone mail you can.
Should I use MMS or MEdia Net as my access point on at&t?
I followed the steps but i still get the message it can’t find the mailserver on my N95. I also made sure pop3 was activated in my gmail account. Why can’t my phone find the server?
Works like a charm.
Thx
Sjon try web browser on your phone if you can not browser then there is problem in your Access Point. You may need to call support.
Doesn’t work
It says connection timed out, but I can access web from the same access point… Any hints?
Works perfectly. Thanks for the help
thanks guys
Wow nice elaborate steps… finally i got it working! Seems i was messing up with SSL!
Hey , can i even send my , .ppt,.doc,excel sheets with this as atachments? and can same be downloaded to my N73 with this service?
I have created the mail box of Gmail as instructed by you. But I am getting this message. Please help. “Packet data connection not available”.
subscribe to GPRS first or check connection settings
Check with your Service Provider. You don’t have Internet GPRS connection configured on your mobile. Check your access point setting or get them from service provider.
Another good check is to use web browser on your phone to browse web site before configuring gmail account.
I keep timing out when asked for a connection. What should the port settings be, default or user defined? if user defined, what numbers?
thanks for these clear steps on installing gmail on the n95, but i’ve got a problem with it ; after I try to connect, it asks my username and password, then asks if I want it to remember it, after which it seems to be connecting. Only after a few seconds, it asks my username and password again, and again, and again…
I’ve checked my password over and over again, is it something you’ve heard of before?
Thanks,
Haikov
Never happen to me. Check again you might have configured the username and password incorrectly in settings. Gmail username should be without ‘@gmail’ or try with it.
Thanks for the quick reaction,
I’ve managed to solve it myself in the mean time; I was still supposed to change the setting ‘disable POP’ into ‘enable POP’ in the general preferences of my gmail account.
thanks again for your reaction and maybe till next time!
bro i m facing the same prob as a few of the friends brought into ur knowledge,wen i try these settings with yahoo then it asks user name n password again n again,n wen i try the whole procedure as u told for gmail then it keeps connecting n finally says timed out, u try to look into the matter as i m putting the right user name n password,i m sending u my official email address i wud glad to receive ur reply,waiting ur response, (iftikhar.rasool@pk.standardchartered.com
let me know what telecom carrier you are using. Are u using WAP access point or Internet Access Point. For gmail you need Internet access point.
bro i m using warid telecom and definitely i use intenet access point, additionally i ve enabled pop from my gmail account settings.. i ve sent you my official mail ID n also sending you my gmail account as well, the handset i m using is N 73 ME…
by the i m extremely glad for ur quick response and the help you provide to the users,thanx a lot for this..
I have created the mail box of Gmail as instructed by you. But I am getting this message even I put the HEADER RETRIVAL as ALWAYS ENABLED. IT giving the message as. “HEADER RETRIVAL IS DISABLED”.
Doesn’t work
It says connection timed out, but I can access web from the same access point… Any hints?
Get the setting for Internet Access Point not the WAP access point.
hi, nice follow trough, thx.
managed quit a lot on my own but failed on sending mail, it says to check my settings, checked everything, but al the same as you said.
retreving goes smooth though, but sending with attachments would be nice.

It is possible to configure gmail on Nokia 6300. It has a built in Wizard to configure gmail. I have done it.
I have tried all these settings in my nokia N73. but still i am getting a message ’server not found”. Can anyone help me to configure my phones e-mail settings to use gmail from my mobile….??? i have a GPRS connection from Airtel “Airtel online”.
Post your access point settings.
hi, it sucks with my wlan , gprs working fine either pop3 or smtp.
N95 rocks …
According to goolge the server in/out should be pop.googlemail.com ?

Have brand new N73 but cannot follow your instructions. I’ve enabled POP in my gmail settings. Your first line says open messaging application but my messaging N73 messaging menu is all about SMS. Am I missing something ?
I’ve got N73ME and I had followed all instruction shown above but I couldn’t be able to retrieve any mail neither to send it, it stays in out box saying Queued. Why tell me why, men. Help me please SOS
same here guys on N73ME. It connect to gmail and receives a certificate. It says certificate has expired. I still go ahead and then it says sorry cannot find server.
I am not able to send mails as well. i just says sending email and there is a cancel button for a long time.. unless i cancel it just stays like that. the mails are not sent
Using StartTLS instead of SSL/TLS in the Security (Ports) setting for outgoing mail made it work for me

Very good explanation how to configure Gmail account.
Guys when you try to connect verify before that you are using
GPRS connection. WAP connection doesn’t allow you to connect.
Good Luck
Respect to owner of this article
Guys, I tried every way to configure it on the Messages mailboxes, but I only recieve old emails, like 20 days older than today???

I am trying to configure gmail mail box in my N95 8GB mobile. I have done all the settings given by you. I have selected my access point as NOP. But it keeps saying “Incoming mail server not found. Check mailbox settings.”.
What could be the problem with my settings?
ASIMAG, thank you very very much, been on the phone to Vodaphone all night trying to get them to sort out my mail and some random guy on the web sorted it for me!!
And for all the other guys getting the timed out message, change it from your WAP setting to GPRS or somethign similiar i was getting the timed out messged and changed it from Vodafone Live to IFKHY or what ever it is and it worked straight away!!
Cheers
its the best post from you, thanks a lot

I have tried the steps on my nokia N73 mobile. But it gives an error as “Internet : Server Not Found”. Though my GPRS sevice is activated & I am able to connect to internet through my mobile’s browser. I have Airtel connection & I have selected “Airtel Live!” as the access point. Please help…..
works good but how can I keep it connected at all times. Presently automatic notification isn’t working. Everytime I have to go in mailbox and then connect it. I s there a way where it will check every 30 mins or so and notify says a new mail?
I’ve tried setting up gmail on my phone this way and for some reason it does not retreive the emails automatically, even though it is set to do so. Also, when I do this manually by going to settings and retreive email it takes forever and then times out and therefore stops.
I have checked all the settings are correct on the phone and on the email account time and time again.
When I click connect it says ‘connecting to mailbox xxxxx@gmail.com‘ takes forever processing it and then says ‘insecure connection, unable to connect’
What is going on? Please someone help, I’m going out of my mind.
Does Airtels NOP (NET ON PHONE) will allow it to access?

Hi
I have got all these configurations on my phone but still have a slight problem.
My N95 8gb doesn’t actually retrieve any of my emails. It allows me to send emails when connected, but will not actually retrieve and received emails to my mailbox. Have spoken to T-Mobile and they have no ideas, does anyone else??
Thx
hi I have done all the setting, like incoming mail(pop.gmail.com), outgoing mail server(smtp.gmail.com), port no 995 and 465,ssl, but still i am getting “Internet: server not found” please help me in the same.
Thanks Brother its working
there are 2 ways in Nokia E51 to setup EMAIL. one is email server, another is messaging. the first one can not be configured. but the second one is in only seconds to finish. Simply following the prompt request. After I finished, I did receive all the list of my gmail account. it was using the connection of “Starhub Internet”. I had set my phone to GSM (no 3G icon in screen), and had deleted all the GPRS etc connection except WLAN before above email setting. Found that the packet data was used by “Starhub Internet”, more than 65KB. I think the bill for this month will show the cost for this try.
I get dns failed when i try to send a msg to my email address…any idea how to fix this?
Thanks for giving a configure for N95
